SULPHUR - Tears, hugs and goodbyes were the order of the day for the Evangel Lady Eagles following their 5-2 LHSAA Class 2A state semifinal loss to Riverside on Saturday afternoon.

Coach Sherilyn Mueller's club simply couldn't come up with the timely hits needed to get past a team it had owned in past playoff matchups. Falling just minutes after North Webster lost to John Curtis, the 2A championship won't feature a team from District 1-2A for the first time in five seasons. The Lady Eagles (21-7) won titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011 before losing to John Curtis in last season's championship final.
